In the Planning Stages?

The National Center encourages and supports the development of partnerships in all clinical settings for all vulnerable populations.  If you are an attorney or front-line health care provider interested in developing a medical-legal partnership, NCMLP can help you get started:

• Contact us for technical assistance;
• Request an MLP 101 Binder; and,
• Review the core components of a medical-legal partnership.

You don't need a log-in to access the resources you need to get started!

The resources you need to start planning your partnership can be found on the website without a user account:

• Getting Started:  Download sample planning grants, budgets, job descriptions, memorandum of understanding, needs assessment tools and trainings
• Academic Articles: Read the literature in medical and legal journals about the medical-legal partnership model, issues of confidentiality and ethics and evaluation
• White Papers and Reports:  Read about the work of medical-legal partnerships -- from Health Impact Assessments to projects targeting hunger and utility access
• Evaluation Reports:  Review the studies being conducted at medical-legal partnerships across the country

The MLP Network Resource library is a secure place for partnerships already engaged in service delivery to share resources.  Partnerships in the planning stages cannot obtain user log-ins to the website.  Once your partnership is up and running, you can apply for membership in the MLP Network.

Already Providing Services?

Membership in the MLP Network is on a partnership site, not individual, level.  At minimum, Member sites must:

• Have a legal partner institution;
• Have a medical partner institution;
• Provide direct legal assistance in the clinical setting; and,
• Train front-line health care staff on the connection between unmet legal needs and health.

The MLP Network is a voluntary affiliation that signals participation in a variety of activities including MLP Working Groups, annual conferences, and leadership- and project-based initiatives.  Medical-legal partnerships in the Network share resources, help to cultivate best practices and engage in joint projects.  Only Member sites have access to the online MLP Network Resource Library.
